In one embodiment, a first entity of a 5G network identifies an action that the first entity would like performed in the 5G network. The first entity of the 5G network sends a signed Holochain transaction indicative of the action to a second entity of the 5G network. The second entity of the 5G network generates a mutually-signed Holochain transaction by signing the signed Holochain transaction. The first entity of the 5G network receives the mutually-signed Holochain transaction from the second entity of the 5G network. The first entity of the 5G network publishes the mutually-signed Holochain transaction to a distributed hash table.

An access method. The access method includes: acquiring an AT model type supported by each of one or more network devices; and selecting, according to the AT model type supported by each of the one or more network devices, a network device that corresponds to the AT model type matching an AT model type supported by a terminal for access.

Various embodiments may provide streaming service downlink network assistance and/or uplink network assistance mechanisms in a fifth generation (5G) system (5GS) network via an Application Function (AF) computing device in a 5GS. In some embodiments, a computing device and/or the AF computing device may inform the network about needs for capacity for downlink or uplink traffic. Various embodiments may include sending radio access network (RAN) capacity requests to a network computing device of the 5GS network including a 5G RAN. In some embodiments, the network computing device of the 5GS network may be a computing device that is not part of the 5G RAN. In some embodiments, capacity need messages may be sent directly from user equipment (UE) computing devices to computing devices of the 5G RAN. In some embodiments, capacity information of the RAN may be delivered to an AF computing device via an intermediate network function.

Methods and apparatus are provided to enable on-demand requests for a time reference for time-sensitive communications (TSC). The network can optionally configure a UE to enable on-demand requests for TSC. When the UE needs a time reference for TSC, the UE sends a message to the network including an explicit indication that a time reference for TSC is needed by the UE. In response to the request, the network sends to the UE on-demand system information comprising the time reference in a broadcast message or a dedicated message.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as a long term evolution (LTE). The present disclosure relates to a method of an evolved node B (eNB), comprising: transmitting at least one of first information as information on at least one first type-discovery resource pool including first type-discovery resources and second information as information on at least one second type-discovery resource pool including second type-discovery resources, or transmitting discovery resource information on at least one discovery resource which corresponds to a discovery resource type requested from a user equipment (UE).

A UE 200 acquires time information used in a system from a network. The UE 200 receives a message indicating that the time information is updated from the network, and acquires the time information according to the reception of the message.

A UE 200 acquires time information used in a system from a network. The UE 200 receives a message indicating that the time information is updated from the network, and acquires the time information according to the reception of the message.

An embodiment relates to an operation method of a relay user equipment (UE) related to a sidelink relay in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, by a relay UE, a system information-related request from a remote UE; and transmitting, by the relay UE, system information to the remote UE, wherein the system information is obtained by the relay UE from a base station on the basis of the system information-related request.

A communication technique for merging, with internet of things (IoT) technology, a fifth generation (5G) communication system for supporting a higher data rate, subsequent to a fourth generation (4G) system, and a system thereof are provided. The disclosure can be applied to an intelligent service (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail, security and safety-related services, and the like), based on a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. A method for reporting user equipment (UE) capability of a terminal and a device thereof are provided.
